A/N: Thank you to arcoiris0502 for leaving feedback. If you're not an 'olake' fan, please don't review as my summary for this story and the A/N in chapter 1 clearly states that 'Olake' is endgame. Your reviews (as 'guests') will be promptly removed, especially if you're attacking me (the author). This will be the last mention of it. To those reading this story, this story will be M rated next chapter but I'm going to change it now as I'm posting the rest of the chapters now. We are almost done with the story. Enjoy.
Title: Will Love Overcome?
Chapter 12
***Elijah's House***
Elijah: "I don't know what you're talking about as you don't have a brother. You're an only child."
Olivia: (raises her eyebrows) "Are you sure about that?"
Elijah: (confused) "What do you mean?"
Olivia: "How about the fact that my twin brother, Noah, was born on the same day? He has black hair, hazel eyes. He was born seven pounds five ounces. He also has Down Syndrome and a mild form of Cerebral Palsy."
(Elijah is shocked as he thought his secret was hidden! How the hell did she find out?! He looks at her wide-eyed until he composes himself)
Elijah: (clears his throat) "What do you want?"
(Olivia faces her father with anger in her eyes as she spoke)
Olivia: "I want to know why the hell you never told me about my brother growing up?" (scoffs) "I always wondered why mom was sad, now I know why."
Elijah: "Maya was sad because our marriage broke up." (shakes his head) "I never wanted our marriage to end."
Olivia: (shouts) "It's your damn fault that your marriage ended because you forced mom to put Noah up for adoption! She wanted him! She wanted to raise him! She made that very clear in the documents that I read! YOU, however, couldn't handle the pressure of caring for a special needs kid! That's on you and you alone!"
Elijah: "What's done is done. Nothing I can do about it now. Noah is with a good family and I kept tabs on him growing up. It is your choice on whether you understand that or not."
(Olivia shakes her head in disgust at her father)
Olivia: "I will NEVER forgive you for what you did."
Elijah: "That is your choice." (tilts his head) "Has Noah tried to contact you?"
Olivia: "It is none of your damn business. If Noah would ever enter the picture, he has every right to confront you, as well."
Elijah: (shrugs) "I did the right thing, Olivia. One day, you and everyone else will see that."
(Olivia can't hear anymore of Elijah's nonsense! Before she realizes what she was doing, she connects her right hand with Elijah's left cheek, causing him to fall back a few steps)
Olivia: (spits) "You are dead to me. You are no longer my father. I should have said that to you a long time ago. I'm saying it now, though."
(Elijah lowers his head a bit before warning her)
Elijah: "Are you sure you want to turn your back on me? There will be times when you'll need my help."
Olivia: (shrugs) "There are other people who can help me. You are on your own…for good. I may have gotten Mellie off your case, but that was mostly to help me."
(Olivia smirks proudly as she knew that her next comment would piss off Elijah royally)
Olivia: "Jake and I are going to be together…at long last…and there's not a damn thing that you can do about it."
(As Olivia starts walking out, Elijah angrily calls out his daughter's name, but she ignores him. She shuts the door behind her. In a fit of rage, he throws a glass figurine that was by the lamp on the table across the room and screams)
Elijah: "I can't believe that I lost everything! Now what the fuck am I supposed to do?!"
(Elijah knew that he had no one to blame but himself. He had no one to control, no family, no friends, no one. He was all alone)
